Itron secures contract from Louisville Water Company

Itron, a US-based technology company offering products and services on energy and water resource management, has secured a contract from Louisville Water Company, to modernise the water usage data collection process.

Louisville Water Company serves over one million people in Louisville, Kentucky and the surrounding areas.

Louisville Water Company will implement Itron’s OpenWay Riva IoT solution.

The utility will replace almost 280,000 meters with the OpenWay Riva water communication modules, which are a new kind of communication technology that electronically captures the usage and then communicated in real-time.

The water utility will also make use of Itron’s analytics to identify water loss, thereby enabling customers to make quicker and better informed decisions.

Louisville Water executive vice president Dave Vogel said: “Our mission is to provide safe, high-quality water and related services to our customers. Itron’s IoT solution and analytics allows us to take advantage of real-time data analysis to improve water loss detection and improve service to our customers.”

Itron senior vice president of networked solutions Sharelynn Moore said: “We are excited to collaborate with Louisville Water to empower customers to monitor their water usage and better manage resources.

“This is yet another example of how Itron’s water solutions are enabling utilities to create a more resourceful world.”

Itron delivers infrastructure services to communities in over 100 countries. Its portfolio includes smart networks, software, services, meters and sensors, which help customers to better manage gas, electricity, and water resources.
